Patient Examples correcting post orthognathic surgery contour
imbalances and irregularities

Le Fort I osteotomy with advancement and sagittal split osteotomy of the mandible may be performed alone or in combination to correct occlusal disharmony and to improve appearance. Sliding genioplasty is often performed alone or in combination with sagittal split osteotomy. These procedures may leave certain patients with characteristic contour irregularities. These deformities can be corrected with strategically placed implants and soft tissue manipulations.
